ok let me see
when you pick a brush..you have the basic colors..blakc white...when you use brush it will be black or white..just a solid color..is there a technique to add more , differenct colors, ..like if i use a fire brush.... what technique is used to blend orange and red in it to make it look like fire..Or is it what the individual does to get color..like me..i would use the air brush with red and orange and just blend it in the fire brush working it with the mouse..which i dont want to do.time consuming
.if there is no technigque then im **** out of luck lol

Step 1 : Open a new file by clicking on File>New. Give a size of 300px by 400px.

Step 2 : Select rectangular Marquee tool and drag it to make a rectangle of size 162px by 279px. Choose pink color with Eye dropper Tool. Click on OK. Select Paint Bucket Tool. Click on your canvas. It will fill the rectangle with pink color.

Step 3 : Add a new layer by clicking on the Add Layer icon in the Layers panel. If your Layers panel is not open then go to Window/Layers. Name the new layer design. Go to Select/Inverse.

Step 4 :Select Brush tool and this panel will appear.

Click on Brush drop down panel.

Select the drop down triangle. Select Special effect brushes/Azalea. Click on the canvas around the rectangle and fill it with scattered roses.

Step 5 : Add a new layer by clicking on the Add Layer icon in the Layers panel. Select Butterfly from the same drop-down menu and drag on canvas.

Step 6 : Now you can add text to your middle rectangle. Select Choose Horizontal Type Tool. A text layer is created automatically. Now enter the text as you want. Here it is "Become Someone' s Hero".
